Diary

All last week the weather forecasters kept talking about a "rain event" that was going to bring anywhere from "zero to six inches of rain". Way to hedge your bets, meteorologists. There's somewhere between a zero and one hundred percent chance that you might win the lottery. Congratulations. Anyway, I was really hoping for some good rainy days this week because it's been so hot, but it turns Read More

Happy Friday! Here's the problem with summer. I totally lost track of my days this week and only realized it was Thursday around 8:00 p.m. and so this edition of Fashion Friday almost didn't happen. I mean technically I knew it was Thursday but I guess I just didn't process it. Anyway, before we get to the fashion portion of today, I wanted to share a quick deal that's going on right now Read More

Well. It's still hotter than ever here, just in case you were wondering. At some point I'll quit talking about it but that day is not today. I just need you to know it was so hot that when Caroline and I stopped at Sonic today to get drinks while we were running errands that the ice in my unsweet peach tea melted before I finished drinking it. That's just wrong. But that's not really Read More

I have packed my last school lunch of the year because Caroline just has finals and so she doesn't have any full school days left. It's the most wonderful time of the year. And just in case you missed it, Episode 106 of the Big Boo Cast is posted here with all our thoughts on the Royal Wedding. This also feels Read More

Is there some kind of wedding happening this weekend? I'm just not sure based on all the Lifetime movies and continuous specials about the royal family. In fact, I am currently watching Kate: The Making of A Modern Queen on the BBC. Also, stay tuned because later today I will post a very special Royal Wedding edition of The Big Boo Cast because who would we be if we didn't take the time to Read More

So this weekend is Mother's Day weekend and to celebrate, I've teamed up with Milk and Honey Tees and the Millie Mae Collection for a fun giveaway. (You don't have to be a mom to enter. You just have to have had a mom which means we all qualify.) Here are the prizes: - A Milk and Honey "Grace Alone" tee - A pair of Millie Mae "The Julia" tassel earrings - A copy of my Everyday Holy Read More
